Re amount of thread left on the bobbin, I've read that a service tech can even adjust the level of how sensitive the sensor is in the hidden setting of the machine.
It's worthwhile to ask if you're concerned with wasting too much thread. I once read, that if your machine is leaving a lot of thread even at the lowest setting, to tie the end of the bobbin thread onto the spool of bobbin thread and wind a new bobbin! I did try it a few times and it seemed to work fine. Re stitch counter on the 12000, you can move forward and backward 1 stitch at a time. That feature began with the 11000 machine. It was one of the best improvements that Janome made to their embroidery machines! -- Favymtz

Pixey, the Resume mode means that everything you had set up including jogging the design, changing colors etc will be exactly as you left it.
If it's not resuming exactly how you had set it, then somethings not working right with the machine. -- Favymtz

Cheryl,
I did learn the hard was to keep that bobbin notification on for embroidery! I use the almost empty spools when I'm doing a tack down at the beginning or applique, anywhere that it won't matter if the bobbin runs out. Playing bobbin roulette is just too painful.

Re: 2 things

For the remaining thread on your bobbin: If you turn it “OFF” it will keep on stitching and in embroidery especially that can be a problem. The needle thread usually breaks somewhere, and sometimes a long way past the bobbin running out. On the 12000, if I remember correctly, it is very painful finding the spot as it is a stitch by stitch effort and the 10’s and 100’s, but you need to be careful with that or you are soon past the spot where stitching stopped. I suggest that you set it to the lowest setting, as there won’t be a significant amount of thread left on your bobbin, and you will be warned and the machine will stop and you can change the bobbin without crisis. After all if we can afford to buy these machines, we can probably afford to lose a metre (yard) or two of thread, every once in a while. Also the remaining thread on the bobbin can be used for hand sewing (I know that is a swear word), or just regular sewing, as you can do short seams with what is left.

Thanks for the bobbin help. Will ck out the Set Screen and pg 128 on the 12000 manual.
My 12000 has just started a blink, blink, blink screen while embroiderin,g with either a broken thread window (thread is not broken) or a bobbin plate window. I have turned it off, rethread, removed and replaced the plate, cleaned the bobbin area……anything else I can check as it won’t go forward more than a stitch or 2 before it starts again? TIA!! Joyce

Re: 2 things

I have never had to test this thankfully, but if you jogged over to align a design at the start, does Resume mode catch this as well? Or does it recenter the design before it goes to the the stitch it stopped on?

Re: 2 things

Re the Resume mode, if you have it turned on the machine should return to exactly everything that you had set up and were in the midst of using when you turned the machine off and then later try to resume the same design.
If the machine asked if you wanted to resume and you said ok(yes) and if something didn't line up it's likely that maybe the hoop had bumped something. ??? If you're certain you didn't cause the problem, then there may be something not right with the machine, because If Resume isn't activated, the machine won't ask the question when you start up. -- Favymtz

Remember in your set screen you have many options, however each time you change something you need to press ok or it won't remember. In this case resume must be checked. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

If you google the Janome (model of machine) repair manual it is a pdf to download. However once you do something to your machines and you are not a repair tech or dealer it voids your warranty. My feeling is for expensive as our machines are it is worth whatever the fee to let the experienced and trained perso do it. Just saying. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

Re: 2 things
Item 2 - See the manual, page 128. The remaining bobbin thread sensor can be adjusted to leave less (-) or more (+) thread before warning about low bobbin.

Where did you get the download for the Repair Manual for the 15000? I only have the user’s manual.
thank you for the information and the great idea regarding video.

Cynthia, That's a really good idea! The needle threader on the 15000 moves so fast, it's really hard to see if the thread went in the needle. And, it's good to know that the repair manual has that information. Thanks for sharing! Kathy

striplett3---My threader occasionally gets out of whack and looks like it is going through the needle's eye, but is not really going through. I have corrected this by getting down at eye level with the needle and using very strong magnifying lens glasses to verify if it really is going through the needle's eye. Each time, I have found that the threader hook is intact, but it swings ever so slightly to the right of the needle, missing the eye, even though it looks like it engages without the close-up, magnified view. I fix it by using a small, flat head (not a phillips) screwdriver between the hook's shaft and the metal piece that surrounds it and GENTLY pushing the hook to the left, back into position. It may take several tries to do it. You need a good strong light, a steady but gentle hand, good magnification and a good measure of patience. THis beats taking your machine into the dealer if you can avoid it. Unfortunately, if your hook is badly bent or broken off, you would need a new part and a visit to the dealer. Good luck if you try this!! Kathy Strabel Camas WA
